Hiya! It's almost August, and another cohort is starting the course very soon. As I've repeated like a broken record, solid algebraic skills are crucial if you want to get a respectable score at the end of the course. Seven key areas to focus on: numbers, expansion, factorisation, surds, equations, inequalities, simultaneous equations. If you can handle most questions with ease you're ready for the course. If you don't think you're ready yet, please have a look at the Algebraic Skills booklet on the website to brush up before commencing the course.  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew  

Hiya! After a three week break, I am BACK with more unit tests.

Typical 4 questions per standard that cover a lot of key points you're expected to know for your finals.  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: May the odds be ever in your favour.  Andrew

Hiya! Third round of Synoptic! Now we're back to Synoptic 1, covering the basics of IB Maths. These questions are quite straightforward, hence the cutoffs for various grades are higher than the previous versions. As usual, there is a bit of stats, a bit of calculus, a bit of trigonometry and a bit of functions in all papers.  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew

Hiya! This is another set of SL papers that are pitched at the same level as the final exams. 90 minutes, 80 marks. Predictable structure. The questions will cover all of the SL syllabus - binomial expansion, differentiation, normal distribution, and plenty more besides. Booster F1: Booster F1 MS: Booster F2: Booster F2 MS: Andrew  

Hiya! Second round of Synoptic 3. Many students are preparing for the May exams at the time of posting - hopefully these questions provide additional practice on top of the plethora of resources available on the website. HL has a nice induction question and SL has a tiny cute question on unfamiliar functions with calculus. Enjoy!  AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew  

Hiya! For the second round of Synoptic 2, allow me to combine probability and logs, trig and proofs, and anywhere in between. Enjoy! AAHL: AAHL MS: AASL: AASL MS: Andrew  

Hiya! This is probably the last unit test for 2025. We'll be working on trig identities. For AA students, mastering these is CRUCIAL as they show up time and time again in differentiation and integration, as even more if you decide to pursue a STEM path in engineering.  If you're looking for more personalised support, don't hesitate to reach out and complete the form !
